# Isaiah 53:10 · JPS 1917

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Yet it pleased the LORD to crush him by disease; to see if his soul would offer itself in restitution, that he might see his seed, prolong his days, and that the purpose of the LORD might prosper by his hand:

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** soul, arm, purpose, LORD · **What happens:** please, crush, see, offer, prolong, prosper · **To what, where:** mouth, LORD, soul, restitution, seed

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Isaiah 53:10 · JPS 1917 in the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, from Mova's open Bible corpus. The page gives the sentence's syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, parsed by Mova and checked by a teacher model — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (soul, arm, purpose, LORD), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it. The original of the verse links back to its own tree and to the Targum.
